Mufti Menk – Dress in a Beautiful Way
AI: Summary ©
Speaker 1 discusses the importance of avoiding immorality in speaking and dressing, as it is the only way to avoid it. They stress that anything that leads to it is considered immoral, and that anything that is not immoral is considered minor Brianna. They also mention that while the act of abandonment is considered immoral, it is still a sin, and that anyone who continues to avoid it is a sin as well.

So Allah says thereafter,
And don't go close to immorality,
that which is open and that which is
hidden. Immorality
here starts with the way you talk and
the way you dress, as well as the
actions, the adultery, the fornication or anything that
leads to it. Allah says don't go close
to it. Watch how you talk, watch who
you talk to, watch what you're saying.
Don't go close to immorality. There must be
nothing immoral in the way you speak, in
the way you talk and in what you
are saying.
Even in your tone, don't have an immoral
tone when you're speaking to people who are
not married to you, people who are not
closely related to you in that way. So
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
even your dress code because that is apparent,
that is open. Allah says dress in a
very
beautiful way, in a godly way that which
would have been
taught by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You wouldn't
be embarrassed of it had you been to
meet, say, for example, the messenger peace be
upon him.
May Allah grant us the ability to rectify
our dress in a beautiful way. Allah says
if you're going to do that, you're gonna
plunge yourself into crisis one way or another
in this world and the next or
in the next. And perhaps, who knows, maybe
only in this world for a temporary time.
If you were to seek forgiveness, Allah would
still always forgive you. Masha'Allah.
So Allah says
even the
act of adultery, that's not the only immorality.
Anything that leads up to it is also
considered immoral.
Although the major sin is the act itself,
what leads to it
may be considered minor sins to a certain
extent, but
it is still wrong. May Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala protect all of us and strengthen us
wherever we have faulted. My brothers and sisters,
turn to Allah and you will achieve comfort.
But if you continue in immoral ways, habits
and so on then you have none to
blame besides yourself
when you have a lot of discomfort
and perhaps crises
upon crises.
